port drivers
I just installed win98se on a gateway 933c. I am showing an error in device
manager. ? device that looks to be ports( com & lpt). Not positive but that seems to be the only thing missing. I believe it needs the drivers, but where do I find them? Found nothing mentioned at Gateway site. |

If you can find motherboard chipset drivers, install those. BUT, it's possible that your ports are turned off in BIOS, so check there first. -Dave |

Either they aren't (standard) COM/LPT ports or you have an IRQ conflict with some other device that prevents them from initializing. |
